From the illustrator of The Girl and The Dinosaur, a heartwarming and magical picture book about what it means to be a friend.
Little Witchling lives alone on her mountain top, and more than anything else, she wishes for a friend. When her spell book tells her that the secret ingredient to conjuring a friend is the fur from a little girl's favorite teddy bear, she knows what she must do. But the bear belongs to Lilly, who can't bear to part with him. Will Little Witchling give up her dream of a real friend? Or maybe there's a way for her and Lilly to make the wish come true together . . . With a heartwarming rhyming text and beautiful illustrations from Sarah Massini, this magical friendship story is perfect for little witches everywhere.
